Hi.
Below is an idea for a short animated viral to appear on Youtube.

The story:

*3 monkeys relaxing in a tree.
* A ‘post-it’ note with the words.., ‘Next Auction - 2pm’ written on it and pinned to the tree above monkey 3’s head.
*Shot of an alarm clock with the hands showing the time at, 2 minutes to 2.
*Alarm goes off
*2 of the monkeys jump up and frantically race down the tree, to a cage with a bunch of bananas locked inside.
*Top/Front of cage is the logo.
*While they scramble down we see a shot of the 3rd monkey still relaxing holding the ‘post-it note’ (Next Auction – 2pm) with a smile on his face. He turns the note over and it the words read:- ‘bananabidder – 50p to £1.50.

*Monkey 1 & 2 are looking at the bunch of bananas, licking their lips.
*Monkey 1 runs off behind a tree and comes back with a laptop/notebook. Switches it on. It shows an image of the banana in the cage -.
*Monkey 2 produces a mobile phone from his ‘pocket’ (in the fur on his leg, maybe?) and switches it on, showing the same page.
*Count-down clock is now showing 00:00:05. Monkey 1 & 2 are bidding.
*We get another shot of monkey 3, still in the tree but with a bigger smile on his face, watching the auction on his laptop.

*After a few bids – monkey 1 & 2 run out of bids.

*The screen shows that monkey 3 is the last bidder, winning the bunch of bananas for £0.13.
with the bananabidder he had set earlier.

*Monkey 3 runs down the tree – puts his credit card in a slot on the cage. The door opens. He jumps into the cage & starts eating the bananas while mocking monkey 1&2.
*Shot of monkey 1&2 noisily shaking the cage. (this view from inside the cage looking out at them)
